Guéhi not charged for adapting Rainbow Laces armbandBut such religious messaging goes against FA regulations
Marc Guéhi and his club, Crystal Palace, have been given a formal reminder of the Football Association’s rules after the defender wore a rainbow armband with ‘I love Jesus’ written on in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle.
The 24-year-old has spoken in the past about his devout religious beliefs and, it is understood, has been contacted alongside Palace by the FA that the appearance on, or incorporation in, any item of clothing, football boots or other equipment, of any religious message is prohibited under Rule A4 of the governing body’s regulations. The FA has declined to comment on whether any repeat by Guehi could lead to a charge.
